Formation of Secondary Organic Aerosols Through Photooxidation of Isoprene

TL;DR: Detailed organic analysis of natural aerosols from the Amazonian rain forest showed considerable quantities of previously unobserved polar organic compounds, which were identified as a mixture of two diastereoisomeric 2-methyltetrols: 2-methylthreitol and 2- methylerythritol, which can be explained by OH radical–initiated photooxidation of isoprene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical composition of secondary organic aerosol formed from the photooxidation of isoprene

TL;DR: The first evidence of particle-phase esterification reactions in SOA, where the further oxidation of the isoprene oxidation product methacrolein under high-NO(x) conditions produces polyesters involving 2-methylglyceric acid as a key monomeric unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organosulfate formation in biogenic secondary organic aerosol

TL;DR: Several of the organosulfates of isoprene and of the monoterpenes characterized in this study are ambient tracer compounds for the occurrence of biogenic SOA formation under acidic conditions and reveal a viable mechanism for the formation of previously identified nitrooxy organosolfates found in ambient nighttime aerosol samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arabitol and mannitol as tracers for the quantification of airborne fungal spores

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived quantitative relationships between the amounts of tracer compounds and the number of spores in the atmosphere for different sites in the area of Vienna and obtained over all average relationships of 1.2-2.4 with a clear site dependence.
